Vascular anomalies are a heterogeneous group of congenital blood vessel disorders more typically referred to as birthmarks. Subcategorized into vascular tumors and malformations, each anomaly is characterized by specific morphology, pathophysiology, clinical behavior, and management approach. Hemangiomas are the most common vascular tumors. Lymphatic, capillary, venous, and arteriovenous malfor...

Aplasia cutis congenita is the congenital absence of skin mostcommonly affecting the scalp. No definite etiology is available butmultiple causes such as intrauterine infection, fetal exposure tococaine, heroin, alcohol or antithyroid drugs, vascular disruption,genetic causes, syndromes and teratogens have been suggested.We present an infant with extensive aplasia cutis of the trunk andthigh. He...

This article outlines the classification of vascular anomalies, which include vascular tumors and vascular malformations. We describe the nomenclature, diagnosis, and management of the different types of anomalies. Specific indications for pharmacologic and surgical intervention are discussed.

Vascular anomalies are among the most common congenital and neonatal dysmorphogenesis, which are separated into hemangiomas and vascular malformations. They can occur in various areas throughout the body, with 60% being located in the head and neck. The true mechanism of pathogenesis of vascular anomalies is still unclear. Various treatment methods have been reported, and there are still contro...

Various combinations of vascular malformations of the brain in one lesion have been reported, while others seem to be very rare. In this report, the authors discuss the case of a coexistence of an capillary telangiectasia of the pons and intracerebral venous anomaly. To our knowledge, this is the first report of coexistence of a capillary telangiectasia of the pons and intracerebral venous anom...

We report a case of successful laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection preserving the common hepatic artery branched from the left gastric artery for advanced gastric cancer with an Adachi type VI (group 26) vascular anomaly. A 76-year-old female patient was admitted with a diagnosis of advanced gastric cancer at the anterior wall to the lesser curvature of the antrum (cT3...

s s u In recent decades, a great deal has been learned about the histopathology, etiology, and treatment of vascular anomalies, which has caused change in the classification and terminology used to describe these lesions. The International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) classification system, which has been widely embraced by various subspecialists who care for patients wit...
